Tommy Thumbs Up for Learning!

So what are they learning with Tommy Thumbs? ✋ Fine motor skills When toddlers wiggle, hide, and isolate one finger at a time, they’re strengthening the tiny muscles in their hands. That finger isolation is actually foundational for: • Holding a crayon correctly • Using scissors • Buttoning clothes • Eventually writing It’s pre-writing work disguised as a cute song. 🧠 Brain development & coordination They’re coordinating: • Listening to the words • Timing their movement • Matching a finger to its “name” That cross-connection between hearing, thinking, and moving builds neural pathways like crazy at this age. 🗣 Language skills The repetition helps with: • Vocabulary • Turn-taking language (“Here I am!”) • Call-and-response patterns • Rhythm and speech pacing Songs like this support early expressive language — especially for toddlers who are slower to talk. 👀 Body awareness They start understanding that each finger is separate and has its own name. That’s early body mapping, which is huge for motor planning later on. 💛 Emotional regulation Predictable, rhythmic songs feel safe. Toddlers LOVE knowing what’s coming next. That repetition builds confidence and calm.
